The defense claims it would have been utterly impossible for Frank to have
murdered Mary Fhagan and disposed of her body^in the lapses in time in the
alibi they have set up. They also contend that it proves Conley’s story a tissue
of falsehoods. Thus, they declare, Conley lied when he said Quinn preceded
Monteen Stover and Mary Phagan because Quinn did not arrive until 12:20, just
as they eharge the negro was caught when he said he saw Mary go in ahead of
Monteen because according to State’s Witness George Epps, Mary was at Mariet-
now;- did he smile?”—A. Yes, he smil
ed, or made some kind of face at Mias
Mayfield.
Q. Did he say anything?—A. No*
just looked at her and waJked out.
Q. He never said anything about
flirting?—A. No.
The witness was excused and Har-
lee Branch, a reporter for The At
lanta Journal, was called to the stand.
Arnold questioned him.
Q. Do you recollect having an in
terview with Jim Conley?—A. Yes,
Dorsey; "The story of his actions
is practically the same.”
Judge Roan: "He can go as far as
this evidence is similar. The jury
can tell whether it is the same or
not.”
Rosser; “It is the duty of the Judge
to pass on it before it goes to the
jufy.”
Q l call your attention to this in
terview of May 31. Read it over and
tell the substance
Before Mr. Branch had replied, Mr.
Rosser questioned him.
Q. I will get you to state whether
Conley said anything about seeing the
little girl’s purse?—A. He did not.
“Took 30 Minutes to
Take Body to Basement.”
Q. Didn’t he sav it took him 30 min
utes to get the body down into the
basement?—A. Ye*.
Q. I will ask if he didn’t say Lem-
mie Quinn got to the factory after 12
o’clock and stopped eight or nine min
utes?—A. Yes.
Dorsey took the witness on cross-
examination.
Q. Was he positive about the time?
—A. I tried to get him to be as defi
nite as lie could, but he qualified his
statements with the word "about.”
Q. Did you get this interview be
fore or after Conley went htrough
what he said was his part in the
crime at the factory?—A. It was two
or three days after.
Q. Did you see him go through that
performance at th$_factory?-^A. I did.
Rosser objected.
Dorsey—-I want to show by this
witness Conley’s preformance and
that it was just as admissible as the
evidence of Dr. Owens the other day.
Judge Roan overruled the objection.
Rosser continued to object, on the
ground that Conley has told a differ
ent story since the interview.
Branch went through the negro's
re-enactment of the crime. He esti
mated the start at 32:18. Rossef
! niade another strenuous objection, but
| Judge Roan admitted the evidence.
Branch said that at 1:05 o’clock he
: left the building and the negro had
reached the point in his pantomimf
! where ne wrote the notes irt Frank's
ta and Forsyth at 12:07, while Monteen entered the factory at 12:05. Proceed
ing further, the defense attacks Conley’s story of the disposition of the body on
the ground that Helen Curran saw Frank at Alabama and Whitehall at 1:10, and I office.
Conley says the disposing of the body began at 12:56. The events Conley de- I Q P° in ^ oourt adjourned until
scribes could not have occurred in the intervening 14 minutes, according to the 1
defense, because Conley said he was in the wardrobe 8 minutes, and the writing
of the notes must have taken at least 6 minutes, according to the State itself. The
State will undoubtedlv attack this formidable alibi in its rebuttal evidence.

Monday morning.

make a protest to the court.
Hooper—If anything improper is
going on, I wish you would make it
public.
Solicitor Dorsey, who was standing
near the witness, turned and said
"Your honor, we want this matter
settled, if they think anything im
proper is going on.”
Judge Roan—No complaint has been
made.
Dorsey—We are bringing it now.
The officer came in and spoke u
Mr. Starnes.

I will have Mr. Starnes state what
the officer said to ihm.”

At this point Solicitor Dorsey no

Colemans on May 15 it had a figure
“5" on it. They told the Pinkertons

peach every witness we have put up
on the grounds that'he did not re
port to the police.”
Judge Roan: “Mr. Dorsey, you can
ask the witness whether he told any
city detectives about the note and
the bludgeon, or whether he sought to
conceal it. You can not ask him what

and a gentleman.
Her words were interrupted and

as to whether she knew Leo M. Frank,
she arose to her feet ar.d said:
